Mallard continues to flog this horse, despite the fact that he is lying about what the study found. Thus proving that schools are over-preparing people, assuming their aspiration is to be a Right Wing propagandist.

Some of us have to settle for the ability to absorb information independently and think critically, as opposed to having everything packaged by Right Wing propagandists into bite-sized morsels that fit our mental capacity.

First of all, Mallard, this is why no one will ever speak to you more than once. I know you think it's retribution for bravely speaking truth (aka Big Lies). But it's actually just because you're a petty, mean-spiritied, smug, superior asshat.

Second, what? I'm not sure that sentence can be parsed according to the rules of English grammar and you're criticizing that other guy?

And now we've segued from the Big Lie about a study to the bogey man of "tolerance".

It's indicative of Mallard's audience that putting "tolerance" in scare quotes is assumed to resonate as a horrible thing. Most people see tolerance as something to strive for. Mallard sees it as a shackle on the free expression of his feelings.

Mind you, this is the same Mallard Fillmore who would bleat about his First Amendment Rights if he were criticized for expressing those feelings, so, you know, we're grading on a massive curve here.

Proving that Right Wing mouthpieces cannot stop lying because they cannot stop talking (the two activities are inextricable in their case), behold Mallard Fillmore:

What Mallard Says: "Half of all students learn nothing in their first two years of college."

What the study actually says: "...the authors followed more than 2,300 undergraduates at two dozen universities, and concluded that 45 percent 'demonstrated no significant gains in critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and written communications during the first two years of college.'"

I can name someone who has demonstrated no significant gains in critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and written communication since Elementary School.

The point has been well-made in the comments that violent metaphors and gun references are immaterial. What's material is portraying people with different opinions as enemies, sub-human, and worthy of elimination.

Of course, Mallard and other Right Wing water-carriers know this. But, like with Death Panels, they cling to the Big Lie because it is all they have.

On another note, actual people died from actual gunshot wounds. Stay classy, Mallard.

Mallard's previous job, and his current hobby, is being a water-carrying lick-spittle for those with a massive sense of entitlement (as well as open disdain for those in lower economic classes, including their water-carrying lick-spittles).

With a bit of skill he should be able to spin that the right way and finally get back to work.
